Korean Air intercepted by German Fighters

A 744 cargo flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels was intercepted by fighter aircraft as it entered German airspace on the 7th February after it failed to respond to radio calls for an hour and 40 minutes. It crossed through four countries failing to respond to any radio calls. As it entered German airspace it was intercepted by military aircraft to ascertain it identity and dilemma. At some time thereafter it become 'operations normal' and landed normally.

I bet it was anything but operations normal for the crew after they saw the fighters.

Faces redder than kimchee??!!
